Django inspired jazz with vocals!

About Me

Ben and Eve (husband and wife) met while stabbing each other in Kansas (fencing, no really!); after several audtions and dating, Ben moved to NYC; involving himself in the Gypsy swing scene there. A band was formed . . . with Piruz on bass, and Adrian on clarinet. Adrian left, and Eve and Ben requested Monica to step in and play some fiddle. Tom was the last.The band worked on some tunes and here we are- ready to swing for you!
